A good source for old wood working and now metal working machinery is owwm.org.
You will be happy with it for many years to come.

I've got a table saw, a bandsaw, and a jointer now- - - -just looking for a good spot in the shop to set them all up! The bandsaw is going to get a jackshaft to slow the speed down, and get a metal-cutting blade installed on it. I've already got a 2-speed wood-cutting bandsaw, so this one's going to be for metalwork only. Thanks!
